“We booked Ally through the Rover app to watch our little Yorkie, Bleu, for five days while we went on a cruise, and I honestly could not have asked for a better experience. The booking process through Rover was incredibly easy, but I was still nervous about having someone coming in and out of our home while we were away. From the very beginning, Ally made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. She answered every single question I had and never made me feel like I was asking too much. In fact, she went above and beyond to assure me that all of my concerns were completely valid. That level of care and understanding meant so much to me. Most importantly, Bleu absolutely loved her! Ally took amazing care of him and went above and beyond not only with him, but also with keeping our home safe while we were gone. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for by someone so attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. I will absolutely continue booking with Ally in the future, and I’m so grateful we found someone who cares for Bleu as much as we do. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”
“Sydney was absolutely amazing with my two cats this past weekend! From the moment we booked, she was communicative, professional, and clearly a true animal lover. She provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. One of my cats is very shy and usually keeps to herself, while the other is super lovable and craves attention. Sydney was great with both—patient and gentle with my shy cat, and affectionate and engaging with my social one. I highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Tifaney is AMAZING! So trustworthy, caring and attentive! The pictures and communication I received everyday made my whole day! She didn’t just let the dogs out, she took time with them.”
“Abby is an amazing pet sitter for our two rambunctious Boxer dogs. She's calm, cool and collected. She's always professional and we plan to use Abby again and again as our pet sitter!”
“Toneshea dropped in on my two cats for 10 days. She did great with them, followed all my instructions, and went the extra mile to rotate some of their toys and try new things since they were alone for so long. She even got my shy cat who's warry of strangers to come out her shell and seek pets and play after a few days.”
About: Caring, dependable pet sitter available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I’m attentive, responsible, and happy to follow your pet’s routine closely while keeping you updated with messages and photos. I’ve worked in veterinary offices, which gave me hands-on experience around animals and the ability to stay calm, observant, and attentive to their needs. I love helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I work an early shift, which leaves the rest of my day open for the important things: walks, snacks, snuggles, playtime, and telling your fur baby they are, in fact, perfect. I’ll make sure your best friend gets the attention, care, and companionship they need while keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. Since I care for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep things feeling safe, familiar, and low-stress. I follow your instructions closely for meals, walks, potty breaks, litter box care, medications, and all the little routine details that matter. I’m also careful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that helps keep your fur baby safe, comfortable, and happy in their own space.
“Driana was absolutely amazing the care she had for our pups while we were gone. She went above and beyond and took her time with them. Highly recommend and we will be booking with her again :)”
“Angie took care of our dogs as if they were her own. Our incredibly skittish rescue warmed to her almost immediately, which is an absolute first. Have no hesitations about booking Angie.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of my kitty even when my kitty left a mess in some places — Rachel cleaned it up without hesitation. I am extremely grateful for her availability when I suddenly didn’t have anyone to watch my pet on short notice! She sent plenty of photos and even stayed a few minutes over in some cases just to ensure Karmen was doing ok. Thank you Rachel!”
“Rosemary is a great sitter, very reliable and attentive. She took good care of our dogs for a weekend while we were gone. I’ll recommend her to anyone that needs help with their dogs. 100%”
“Alex was very pleasant and an amazing cat sitter! She showed up on time all the time and she made sure that we weren’t worried about our cat and we felt good knowing that she was in Alex’s hands!”
“Peyton did an excellent job with my 3 dogs and my grandpuppy. My plans changed last minute and she adapted to the change without any difficulties. I got home to happy pets that didn't seem too upset that I had gone off and left them. Will definitely be using her services again and would highly recommend her to care for your pets.”
About: I have had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I've cared for pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels-from high energy pups who need lots of playtime to older pets who prefer a slower pace and extra TLC. I'm well versed in basic pet first aid and always pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe capable hands. I know how important peace of mind is when you're away, and i take that responsibility seriously. At home, I have a very full (and very spoiled) house-one dog, two cats, and a guinea pig- so I'm used to managing different routines personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just someone to keep them company, I'll treat them like one of my own-with plenty of attention, care and extra belly rubs! This is currently my main focus so i have a completely open schedule to accommodate pet parents that may need me at all hours based on their needs I have access to several dog friendly parks and trails near my home as well as a crew cab truck so even the largest dogs can enjoy a ride. I also keep a dog seatbelt and pet friendly steps in the truck in case anyone needs a little extra hand getting in
“Heather was wonderful with our 2 kittens while we were away. She helped keep our minds at ease and our kitties tummies full. We would definitely recommend Heather as she went above and beyond for us! Thank you Heather!”

Julianna was extremely reliable, and so compassionate caring for our cat while we were away! We were truly blown away by her attention to detail and her calm nature… She was willing to look out for a few specific things on our list without hesitation. We were so pleased and felt so comfortable knowing that Mochi was in good hands, and it allowed us to enjoy our getaway so much more. We will definitely be rebooking her soon for another weekend away! Highly, highly recommend.
